what exactly are the US going to do here - i mean publicaly via so called direct state diplomacy . apart from what they can already do via NGO and everything else ?
kerala has a communist gov for now . they are not exactly big fans of US gov . these people pushed linux/open source software on gov/schools because they didnt want to give bill gates even 1 paisa - something that could have been tried on national level
They subvert political parties, let's be very honest here , and iam prepared for all the brickbats i will duly receive but indian state is fairly recent one , more or less 150 years , I have added brit rule here also .
While China, Iran etc had continous ruling dynasties more so in China, give me the same example about india the idea of Bharat, with which I agree but to be fair its a religious one , else why would chola fight chalukya , gupta fight vaktaka?
Even if i add muslim rule , still its very less time , but see in China, only dynasties changed, area remained the same and so did bureaucracy, ccp is the latest dynasty and xi jingping the current emperor, or jingping emperor.
Thing is indian state hood is fragile, it's not Russia or Iran are homogenous , Nay they are not but still they their governments goto great measures to hide internal fissures which is commendable .
We are a liberal western democracy, with courts doing their shit and political parties doing their shit .
It's not unknown that, dmk actively espouses separatism, or momta is out there trying become the latest Sultana of Bengal .
Indian bureaucracy is very much corrupt.
they heed their immediate political masters and not the centre .
Usa is challenging the might of delhi sir , they mean to bypass it and deal with Calcutta and madras directly, NGO create pressure , but if political parties are compromised then we are done for, which they are anyway .
It's that we have a strong government at centre .
God forbid if at all , opposition returns in Delhi, there were sepretism lots of it .
With parties like aap actively ignoring orders from Delhi and now they have a whole bloody state called as punjab. A proper State .
May mahadev have mercy on us
